People who struggle with food and weight tend to look for answers in all the wrong places. Diet and exercise programs, self-help books, therapy, pills and potions may work for a time, but 98% of the time people regain the weight (and then some). The reason is that they are emotional eaters and have not identified and healed the root cause of their emotional eating. The “Heal Your Hunger Show” is a podcast (in audio and video format) that will help you get to the heart of why you overeat and how to stop. The Heal Your Hunger Show will inform, support and inspire you to make real, life changes that will directly affect your eating habits. These changes—that have little to do with diet and exercise—will not only help you overcome emotional eating, but they will make daily living happier, healthier and 1000 times more fun. Join Tricia Nelson as she takes you on this journey of inspiration and healing. After years of struggle, it’s time to Heal Your Hunger. Are you an emotional eater or a food addict? Take the QUIZ and get your personal score at HealYourHunger.com.
